Heather Marshall, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Heather!

Growth is hard but there's no reason it can't also be fun! If you are ready to make meaningful change in your life by learning new skills, gaining insight, and challenging yourself to shed old behavior and thinking patterns, let's work together to achieve your goals.

My focus

I have specialized in working with clients addressing anxiety, depression, substance abuse, people struggling with forgiveness issues, as well as trauma impacts on day to day functioning.

My approach

I mainly utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness as my go-to strategies to give you tangible, reliable tools to help change unhelpful thinking patterns.

My communication style

I'm here to listen to you, partner with you, and challenge you to shed old behavior and thinking patterns that no longer serve you. I embrace a collaborative approach and my communication style is generally straightforward with sprinkles of humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

Listening is my superpower! My whole life, I have been drawn to understanding people, connecting with them, and helping to make people's lives better. My passion is restorative justice and forgiveness. I have worked in substance abuse programs for many years and enjoy being a shared passenger on the Hope train.

My goals for you

We will start by building rapport and collaboratively setting goals for treatment. We will start digging into the underlying causes of the distress you are experiencing, and I will help provide a sounding board, education, teach skills and tools, and assign homework to practice the skills and refine how they fit in your life.

Our first session

We will start by building rapport and getting to know each other while figuring out the direction for therapy. I strive to create a warm and open atmosphere for you to feel the most comfortable sharing in.
